Course Short Description

This course is intended to develop practical skills in differential and integral calculus, including their
 applications to various technical problems. The basic differential rules will be introduced as well as the
methods of differentiating algebraic and transcendental functions will be developed. The definite integrals
and indefinite integrals, along with its applications in finding the area will be studied.
Course Objectives
1. To classify different types of functions, approximate their limits both numerically and graphically as
well as their continuity at a point or determine the intervals of continuity.
2. To apply the concept of limits and continuity to understand the principles of differentiation and
integration.
3. To differentiate all types of functions, including implicit and explicit type using different methods,
and apply differentiation to determine the rate of change, maxima and minima of functions.
4. To integrate different types of functions either by using the integral table or substitution technique
and apply the definite integral to obtain the area under curves.

Course Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

● (CO-1) Demonstrate the ability to identify the type of a given function, approximate its
limit both numerically and graphically as well as its continuity at a given point or
determine the intervals of continuity of the function.
● (CO-2) Determine the differentiability and integrability of functions using the concepts of
limits and continuity. Determine the differentiability and integrability of functions
using the concepts of limits and continuity.
● (CO-3) Differentiate various types of functions comprising both the implicit and explicit
types using different methods and apply differentiation to determine the rate of
change and maxima and minima of functions.
● (CO-4) Evaluate the Integrals associated with different types of functions either by using
the integral table or substitution technique; interpret the geometric meaning of
integral and apply this concept to solve geometric and physical problems, such as finding
the area under curves.

Classroom Rules of Conduct

1. Electronic devices e.g., cell phone, laptop, notepad, iPad, iPod, mp3, etc. are strictly prohibited in the
class.
2. It is imperative that the students maintain absolute discipline in class. Students are also expected to
arrive on time for the class, as frequent late attendance will not be accepted.
3. Academic Integrity Policy: Department of Mathematics and Physics does not tolerate academic
dishonesty by its students. At minimum, students must not be involved in cheating, copyright
infringement, submitting the same work in multiple courses, significant collaboration with other
individuals outside of sanctioned group activities, and fabrications.

Students are advised that violations of the Student Integrity Code will be treated seriously, with special
attention given to repeated offences. Please Refer to NSU Student Handbook, Sections: "Disciplinary
Actions" and "Procedures and Guidelines".

Exams & Make-up Exam Policy

Three quizzes will be taken (best Two out of Three will be considered). No make-up quizzes or midterms
will be taken under any circumstances. If a student misses any of the Midterm exams due to the
circumstances beyond their control (official valid documents are required) and informed beforehand (if
possible), reasonable arrangement may be considered. There will be no extra question in the Midterm and
Final exams, so that students should have to answer all the questions given in the exam script.
Cell phones are prohibited in exam sessions.

Attendance Policy
Students are required and expected to attend all classes regularly and on time and participate in class
discussions. North South University mandates to fail students who are absent 25% or more from their classes,
even if such absences are excusable. It is the responsibility of the student to become aware of other course-
related announcements missed during an absence.
Please Refer to NSU Student Handbook, Section: "Study Principles and Policies".

Communication Policy
All communications should take place using the instructor's email. Announcements in class will override any
statement made here or in any other handouts. It is the student's responsibility to be aware of any
announcements made in classes.

Appropriate Use Policy

All members of the North South University community must use electronic communications in a responsible
manner. The University may restrict the use of its computers and network systems for electronic
communications subject to violations of university policies/codes or local laws or national laws. Also, the
University reserves the right to limit access to its networks through university-owned or other computers, and
to remove or limit access to material posted on university-owned computers.

Students Complaints Policy

Students at North South University have the right to pursue complaints related to faculty, staff, and other
students.  The nature of the complaints may be either academic or non-academic.  For more information about
the policy and processes related to this policy, you may refer to the students' handbook. 

Students with Special Needs

Students are required and expected to attend all classes regularly and on time and participate in class
discussions. North South University mandates to fail students who are absent 25% or more from their classes,
even if such absences are excusable. It is the responsibility of the student to become aware of other course-
related announcements missed during an absence.
